Yeah it really stands out.

Either it’s a lie and feds installed a keylogger remotely after the tip off from the Roblox user mentioned, Or the “matyr” had behavior problematic enough that even their family were concerned.

This is correct. The look is referred to as “mar-a-lago face” and it fits in the long tradition of extreme elite modification to the head, like artificial cranial deformation.

We don’t have this problem in Australia, where a sandwich is narrowly understood as being between two slices of bread cut from a loaf.

If it’s on a bread roll it’s not a sandwich it’s a roll. If it’s on a burger bun it’s not a sandwich it’s a burger. A sub is not a sandwich, it’s a sub. A hot dog cannot be considered a sandwich, nor could a cake or anything else that’s clearly not a sandwich.

It’s also important to remember that non-violence serves the interest of entrenched power. The state is at its core a violence-control structure. When people excersize the power of violence in their own interests, the state must reassert it’s dominion or risk collapse.

Non-violent requests can be accommodated without elites feeling like their ill-gotten power is threatened. But it’s often the violent demands that scare them into doing so.

Do variety’s headline writers get paid by the apostrophe or something?

Securing the resources to spend on communal projects that benefit the state is one of the many reasons that state employs violence against its citizens, yep.

Roads are a great example because across the world, major road projects were always built to speed up the military getting to and putting down rebellious provinces - bearing arms against their subjects.

All states are instruments of violence, that’s their sole function. Anything they do that makes our lives easier is just the velvet glove over that iron fist. It’s easy to pretend otherwise when the state hasn’t turned its violence on you yet.

Bearing arms against it’s citizens is literally the entire point of a government. The state is just a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence. The only time a government is not bearing arms against it’s citizens is when the threat of bearing arms against it’s citizens is enough to get what it wants.

Gaining high status or power changes your brain, suppressing empathy and making you neurologically less able to consider the pain you inflict on others.

The powerful become evil, it’s just how human brains work.

(Here. Are. Some. Sources)

Yes! House of reps is what I meant. Thank you.

There are some exceptions and it’s definitely not all they do, but attending to the interest of the powerful is their day-to-day work.

Senators accept bribes from various industries and wealthy individuals in order to block or advance legislation on their behalf.

Because a Senator’s electorate is the entire state, they are more likely to be servants of large state-wide industries like dairy in WI, oil & gas in TX, etc.

This is as opposed to the Congress, where the make-up of their specific district can alter which moneyed interests they benefit most from serving.

Every state has only 2 federal Senators, compared to a variable amount of congressional reps based on population. So individual Senators are generally considered more powerful.

This list is very silly.

Not just because the meanings are off for many of them and “very” is fun to use sometimes, but because you need multiple replacement options for the different contexts of common adjectives. It would’ve been more helpful to provide 4-5 options for 25-30 words.

But it’s not meant to be helpful, it’s not a YSK, it’s just an ad for some proofreading company.

Lol oops. I have no specific thoughts on pacificism, truth be told.

It’s important to question your beliefs when presented with evidence. My views on pacificism have loosened a lot, for example.

But the two view you mention are ones where the left is objectively correct. Homosexual behavior is a biological fact in almost all animals and non-binary gender systems exist across the breadth of human cultures.

Any belief system which serves as a permission structure for brutalizing others can safely be rejected as false.

YouTube ads are 100% scam from what I can tell.

At my work there’s a computer that residents only use to listen to music on YouTube and after each song it’s nothing but ai generated ads for some weird trick a housewife found and other blatant bald-face lies.

My recollection is that in 2006 we would say, “wow, they must know 39 other people who are also unemployed to earn that armor”

OMG I was staring thinking this for so long.

No flint, no chert, no ccs of any kind, nothing that even looks like a projectile point or a flint scraper. That’s not even a good way to hold stone for knapping. What the heck is the connection to flint?

I’m guessing that’s what fruity pebbles look like?

They definitely have not. Not publicizing a fool proof nuclear counter-measure defeats the purpose of achieving it in the first place.

You’d MUCH rather your opponent know a nuke strike is pointless, rather than they try and later be surprised that only one lucky one got through.

Sometimes I miss australia.

Oh lol, oops! Organism, as I’m sure is pretty clear, but I’ll leave it since it’s funnier that way.

This is factually incorrect though. All human language is natural language. We’re an orgasm that has human style language as one of it’s traits.

It doesn’t really make sense to say that birds don’t naturally sing because they teach their children, or that ape gestures and calls are just made up. Incidentally we share a lot of those gestures, showing that human communication systems emerge from the natural processes of evolution.
